Almost ready

Spring time! Pretty soon she will be on the water again.

1) Need to install a new television antenna.
2) Need to reinstall bowsprit and cleats again, now when bow laminating work and epoxy treatments has been finished
3) Need to change o-rings for sterndrive (oil was not changed this year)
4) Then cleaning and life vests, ropes and supplies on board...

Hard top project needs a replica

It looked like to be an impossible project, if the hard top should have been assembled on boat. Winds and sea will sometimes be harsh, so hard top needs to be as rigid as possible. I decided to make 1:1 mockup from our boat cockpit. Well, not the whole cockpit, but essential parts from it. When the replica cockpit is ready, it will be easy to start installing and laminating the hard top parts together. No worries about vinylester spills. And when the project will be ready, I just lift the hard top from this mockup and install it on the boat.

I was just today thinking, that there must be some nuts loose in my head, since I am still going on with this...
